Speed

9 to fix44
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2.6 s · 599 KiB

    67 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (599 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.5 s · 647 KiB

    About 647 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 44

    44/100

    Your mobile performance score is 44. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and Hotjar and others), adding 1.0 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 592 KiB

    7 images could be 592 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 459 ms

    459 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 459 ms of main-thread work and 525 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Accessibe Accessibility Overlay adds 391 ms

    391 ms

    Accessibe Accessibility Overlay costs a phone 391 ms of main-thread work and 250 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Main-thread work: 3.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 14 long tasks on the main thread

    14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 237 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    10 KiB

    About 10 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    8 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 8 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Chained critical requests

    Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 20.6 s

    20.6 s

    Your largest element takes 20.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “EXPERIENCE IS EVERYTHING We connect water, gas, and electri…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 23.5 s

    23.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 23.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.0 s

    8.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.0 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Real visitors wait 2.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 5 images without width and height

    5 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) got 18% slower for real visitors

    +18%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 77 ms to 88 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 12% slower for real visitors

    +12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 75 ms

    75 ms

    Real visitors wait 75 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 4.0 MB in 106 requests

    4.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 106 requests on a phone: fonts 1.6 MB (3), scripts 1.3 MB (35) and images 926 KiB (31). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.12 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.12 g of CO₂e: 134.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

5 to fixGoogle 8793
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 5 images without alt text

    5 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 8 links without text

    8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h4 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9296
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 109 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 109 pages on vertexone.net and 0 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 150 characters

    Your meta description is 150 characters: “VertexOne helps utilities and energy retailers deliver seamless, personalized digital experiences—built for billing, en…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Experience is Everything”.

  • Title: 58 characters

    Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “VertexOne Utility Customer Experience Platform | VertexOne”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.vertexone.ai/home.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.vertexone.ai/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.vertexone.ai/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

2 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (936 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 41 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Clearbit: Please migrate to the new script. See https://grow.clearbit.com/migrate”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    10 of 11 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix81
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • No risk reducer

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

  • About 704 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 704 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 60 testimonial or review blocks and 7 customer or partner logos.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Hotjar, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and HubSpot and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 32 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 32 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at vertexone.net, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
